  Think of a memorable building you have experienced. What adjective would you use to describe how you felt? What qualities or attributes of the space contributed to this feeling? I really don't have a memorable building that I can think of or remember just the buildings I've been to a lot here on campus. The north building is one of the 2 buildings I spend most of my time in especially to do homework while I wait for my next class to start. When I first started here the north building was just an ordinary building didn't pay much attention to the atmosphere here. As I started to come here and actually take time to do homework and focus it became my new place to do homework or just hang around in. The adjective Id like to describe this building is calm . Why I say the north building is calm its due to how the atmosphere is. You're in your own little space with other students who are doing the same thing as you. No one is judging and theres not really much chaos happenin

What are you majoring, and how did you decide on your major? As of right now, I'm still undeclared but I'm interested in architecture. I came to college not knowing for sure what I wanted to be. I took time to myself alone and thought about what interests me and it took me back to my childhood. Buildings and design have always been a part of my life due to my dad's job in construction. As a child, I have been exposed to designing and constructing different buildings. I caught my interest in architecture by my dad took me to his work sites every Sunday and showed me the blueprints the architects designed. What we know now downtown is the Davita building that's one of the many buildings my dad built with his team including the newly extended part of the Denver Art Museum the Lanny & Sharon Martin building. My dad showed me his love for designing and constructing and has stuck with me to this day. That's how I decided on pursuing my education to being an architect.

  Write about how your thoughts and understanding of creativity have shifted this semester. Through this class, I have now a different perspective on what creativity is. When I first into this class I believe on people who were creative showed creativity like musicians, artists, people smarter than me, etc... Now that we are almost done with this class I've seen creativity is something you practice and learn. Anyone can be creative with anything. Also, imagination plays a huge part in my view to embrace your own creativity. It doesn't have to be artists and musicians who are only good at being creative.
